Hi, primary author here, just want to add a few notes: this client was developed at Facebook and is heavily used internally as an alternative to the kernel NFS client. The primary advantage is increased reliability (fewer stuck / unresponsive mounts); there are cases where performance can be be better (using round-robin mode) but for the most part performance is a wash.
I expect this to be of particular interest to the Gluster community, it's a great match for their filesystem.
Shoutout to Ronnie Sahlberg whose libnfs does a lot of the heavy lifting.
